A contemplative Beni Ourain weaving from the Middle Atlas, featuring a sculpted diamond network that rises gently from an ivory ground. The lattice—ancestral symbol of protection and harmony—emerges here as quiet geometry, defined not by contrast but by texture and shadow.

Weave & Touch

Hand-knotted in rich, lanolin-preserved Atlas wool, this piece achieves its relief through alternating knot heights rather than dyed linework. The resulting surface is plush, cloudlike, and architectural—a study in tone-on-tone tactility.
